 WASHINGTON, Jan. l0-Ths senate to- dsy again took up the consideration of the interstate commerce bull, and was by Mir. Beck in favor of the adoption of the conference report.
 hr. Cullom addressed the senate in favor of the conference report, cCnfnIng bis remarks principally to the fourth sec tiOu, Hs to long and short rates. He ar gued that water and other companies sometimes made 1t absolutely necessary to charge more for intermediate busi- ness than for through business. All overland lines of railroad find their rates largely controlled and influenced by routes by way of the Isthmus of Psna- ma and Cape Horn meeting that compe- tition and being wiling to accept a small profit where large one cannot be had, they carry along the line between the two extreme points the same char hcter of freight at less rates tbsn it is carried from east to west, or from west tO east to intermediate places. This be- cause of the competition of freight go- ing on from New York to San Francis co may pRss over various lines of rail. road, making up through line for per haps half Of their regular rates, say from New York to Buffalo, from Buffalo to Chicago, from Chicago to Omaha, from Omaha to Salt Lake and SO on to its destination On the Pacific coast. No prof. is 90 small as to be despised Business is done at that rate rather than not do it at all. Take a more marked illustration, the Southern Psci- fic road strikes the Atlantic waters at ia much less distance than any of its more northern competitors. It has line of easy gradients comparatively, and II competes not only with its northern IT. vals, but more particularly with the Cape Horn and Isthmus of Panama routes. because of it's shorter hne and easy gradients. In this competition il often takes freight between the two oceans ss low as $l0, while freight hsli way say for S20 per ton, most reason able rate for the limited local business of that country. Now if it only makes a dollar net on freight from San Fran circo to New Orleans at Sl0. it IS led to make that dollar where 1t can get no more, but ton of freight gong to Fl Paso. something over half the distance will pay 80 a ton net If freight al Sl0 per ton to New Orleans pays Sl profit, freight going a less distance tC Fl PasO would pay as much profit as twenty-One tons going through 10 New Orleans. snd rates to E
 Paso are bus fair as shOEn by the gross earnings and gross ex' penditures of the road. leaving but {
